People can get remarkably inventive when it comes to figuring out ways to make money while putting in impressively minimal levels of effort. Also though, dang, folks will make some unforgettably bizarre requests. Who knows though, maybe some of these will serve as their own kind of inspiration if you've been on the lookout for a new way to pick up some extra cash. Apparently there are folks out there that'll offer a crisp 10 spot in exchange for a little spit on their pizza.

    Font - Feeling Yesterday · 7d I visited Saudi Arabia with my dad as a teen. I was blonde at the time and men would offer me money to touch my hair. I'm not sure but I remember them offering about 30 riyal to touch it, which was approximately 5-10 USD? It wasn't a ton of cash but all I had to do was sit there and let them touch my hair So... Dad wasn't a fan but it was honestly pretty harmless. They were super careful to only touch my hair and nothing else, not even my head. G Reply 35 3 .. +

    Font - MadLintElf • 7d When I was 17 my dad got me a job basically sleeping in a trailer at a construction site. It was a night gig and I worked days so it worked out perfectly. All I had to do was walk the construction site when I got there, and again at 6 am the next morning. Had a TV, air conditioning and a fridge for refreshments. Made two paychecks each week that Summer, no complaints. G Reply 1 63 3 ...

    Font - iBelievelnSpace · 7d Friend gave me a mower for free because he was moving and didn't need it as he would be in an apartment. It required some work but I fixed it up, cleaned it, and flipped it for $900 and lunch. The only other easy money l've had was when I bartended or did catering. G Reply ...

    Font - bloodoftheinnocents · 6d I got this gig where I would accompany some special needs kids on outings, supposedly as an aide. Honestly I could not even tell what their "special needs" were. They seemed completely chill and normal. We would go to the movies, have water balloon fights, basically fun things. It paid like $30 an hour (2014 dollars). G Reply ... +
